Recently at work it was discovered I know a bit about flashlights. Work took place at night. On this one night it was like I was the ice cream man on an Arizona summer day having a two for one sale. After I had fixed all the lights that could be fixed with spring stretches, new batteries and what-not this one fellow hands me a Coast PX25 and says if I can get it working keep it.
Leakers had gotten paste everywhere and the guy had done a pretty good job cleaning contact points. I contacted Coast because their website did not show 3aaa battery carriers for this model. I said "if I can't get it to work is a part available?" That was at about 6am ET on a Saturday morning. At about 10am my time I got a note from the president of Coast saying click here for a part. I clicked the link that asked for a photo of the light. No problem. Later that day I got an email saying "your order has been processed". Frankly I forgot about it. I was unsuccessful at getting electricity flow in all three portions of the old battery carrier.
Today a box from Coast was on my porch. Cool, a new battery carrier, lets see this baby in action. I had never seen a PX25 so I was curious. Inside was not a new battery carrier but a brand new HX25 in a gift box with holster, wrist strap and some copper top leakers. It's got a beam that reminds me of my SureFire EB-1C.
Anyway, big shout out to Coast for that. And btw some ultimate lithiums will be used not those copper top things.
